Not trying to start an argument, friend. I was trying to relate my observation of how many Poles emphatically do not want Skłodowska-Curie’s Polish heritage to be overlooked or forgotten.

I think it comes down to her maiden name being omitted broadly in the public. For example, look at the title of the post—it is the French version of her name. I’m not laying any blame on OP, however. My science classes all the way through high school never gave her full, hyphenated surname. I had assumed she was French until I was taught otherwise by Poles.

I’m glad you already knew. Good on you!
